Homage2Fromage 5! Yorkshire Cheese @ The Adelphi

Tonight's Homage2Fromage was our favourite so far and not just because the focus was on delicious Yorkshire cheese!....I think the venue made all the difference - the Adelphi was spacious but not too big, which allowed for more relaxed and informal cheese munching. It was good to be able to catch up with some old and new twitter buddies - you know who you are!

A special mention goes to the man who makes Ruby Gold Rubarb cheese who gave us a very informative talk on......er.....CHEESE!!!

Buffalo Blue

Wednesday Peppers

Joe and his friend Paul have a fairly long running squash rivalry and play every couple of weeks.  The last time he came back and I had already eaten, so treated himself to a particularly rubbish post-squash dinner of hummus on toast. 

This time round I was slightly more patient, and made him the more appropriate post-exercise dinner of roasted peppers stuffed with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella with ribbon courgettes.  Tons of vegetables, some protein and some dairy all thrown in together.  Just don't mention to anyone that we've rounded off the meal with three bits of Toblerone each!!
